YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING REACTION th-cam.com/video/ig8MYevhj-I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PDUjBoWrocXLVLHD
Racist is way overused these days it's lost all of its illgotten meaning. Nothing for you to concern yourself with. Haters will always hate. Lovers love.
Love you a bunch people needs to hush about anything that has to do with block, brown white or green, I'm white red hair Penny colored freckles on my nose very green eyes so what am i a human and God made me he has a sense of humor! Love you man and all the others listening!
Soul and Inspiration.
I saw your previous reaction to The Righteous Brothers. I'm white and I don't think your comments were racist. They were honest. I grew up during the Motown period and black artists had a distinctive sound that we called Soul. The Righteous Brothers actually got their name from fellow performers who were black who told them "You're righteous, brothers!" A real compliment back then. I think people can be too touchy about this. It's important to be careful not to offend, but I think we need to be a little more tolerant of each other's differences, including figures of speech and expression. Especially when they are clearly innocent and not meant to be offensive.
I heard it this way. They played clubs under the name 'The Paramours', one night at a mostly black club, one of the the customers exclaimed "that's Righteous Brother". It was and they were.
@@larryosman3184 Your's may be more correct. It's been many many years since I heard that story! Thanks for the comment!
Isn't it great that music is blind when it comes to colour, religion, sexuality.
Let's forget about differences and just enjoy what we have in common ❤️
I know white people that thought they were black the first time they heard them. Don't worry about idiots.
remember this was blued eyed soul.
Unchained Melody is one of the most covered songs in history, but nobody sang it better than Bobby Hatfield. This is the version that ALL the others are judged by.
I’m white and I was proud you thought these were black singers! Your authentic reason blew me away. ❤️ I’m a fan of yours!!! Keep up and ignore negative people
You're not racist! I'm white and when these guys came out on the radio most of us thought they were black. Didn't matter. Great music is great music. We're all one race - the human race.
Im white , you’re NOT racist …you’re honest, They don’t sound white . You’re great , you’re genuine
I am a 76 y o white woman and I watch you all the time. I love your reactions and have never been offended. I fell in love to Righteous Bros. music...felt like I was 18 again.
Thank you for addressing the negativity. Just because you stated the fact of their skin color doesn't make you racist. You are black, I am white, so what! We are people, different but the same. Keep being honest and real. God bless you.
maybe if we all would just take a deep breath before jumping off the deep end maybe we wouldn't well,...you know, jump off the deep end so often..
Last I looked and heard we all bleed red. Vet here.
You probably at least heard it on American Idol- the contestants have sung it a lot over the years.
Apparently his Mom was in the audience, and he was very nervous, and just wanted to sing this song to his best, and ended up making one the best solo performance ever.
He was 25 years old and very nervous. It's on the Andy Williams show. Listen to Andy asking why they both don't sing it. It's pretty funny. And it's in the movie Ghost.
If THAT performance evidences NERVOUSNESS....then we need more of it!!!❤
AND he had a cold!
Don’t worry about the haters hon. All of us white people thought Charlie Pride was white when we first heard his voice 😂. We all do the same kind of stuff. Love your reactions. Keep up the great work. This old lady is here for it 👵🏼☮️🌻❤️🙏🏼
I didn't see your comment before I mentioned Charlie Pride. Excellent point!
You are right, and it didn't matter he was GOOD 👍
ROFL - Came post about Charlie Pride and you beat me to it.
This "Old Fart" (71) never cared if the artists were white , black, green, or purple - It's the music that mattered.
@@AFmedic And many people thought Chuck Berry was white.
Wait. Charlie Pride wan't white?
We love it when people think they are black then find out otherwise! The reactions are priceless!
This song was played in the movie "Ghost", with Patrick Swaze, and Demi Moore. They used this version of the son, with Bobby Hatfield singing. He had a very unique beautiful voice. R.I.P.
Rated by many Artists as the BEST SOLO LIVE performance ever.
no autotune, no stage full of dancers, just a man and his voice..............pure artistry
@@user-zk5rt3gb3e Documentation of your claim? Andy Williams performed his songs live on his show. The preponderance of evidence in this instance is against you, Friend.
@O OI: This was not lip synched. This was a live performance on the Andy Williams Show. It was performance before an audience!!
I am an old woman and didn't find anything wrong with how you reacted to the last video. I knew your reaction was going to be priceless and you didn't disappoint me! Keep up the good work and don't waste your breath on haters.
Oh, good grief. Whoever would accuse you of being racist after your last reaction video to the Righteous Brothers, is simply someone who’s eager to find fault in another person. You keep on doing what you’re doing!
I’m white and when I first heard them back in the day thought they were black singers also, but I didn’t care. Just loved the music! We need to look past the the colors of our skin and remember that we are all human. I love your reactions and the diversity of the artists you present. Keep it up!
You are not "white", you are causation.
Honey (I'm southern, I say that) honey. The best compliment I ever received was in church. Singing along with the praise and worship service, a beautiful black woman turned around and looked me up and down and said she thought I was black. From my singing voice. Not racist. Race loving. Race is beautiful and individual and worthy on its own. God made us all. Different and yet the same. You do you.
👏👏👏
Yes!!!! Same here! Had a beautiful lady tell me once "with soul like that, you need to come to church with ME!" It was a revival and people came from everywhere. 🤣 she was the sweetest lady!!
His parents were in the audience. That little smile at the end is “I nailed it”
I am a white man and I loved your reaction to that song I'm glad you love it
I was born in 1959 so grew up with the most beautiful music.
He sang this with a head cold and his mother in the audience. She had never seen him on stage. They little bite of his lip at the end meant he knew he had nailed this song. Righteous Brothers were hands down the best duo with a perfect mix of tenor and baritone. No one has ever been able to hit that note again.
Listen, friend. That was Bobby Hatfield, arguably the embodiment of blue-eyed soul. He did it in one take, live, and with zero enhancements. That was really just Bobby killing it in a single take.
And Bobby won the coin toss to decide which brother got to do this solo.
I have never heard that! Medley is playing the piano on it. He later said, "If I had known the song was going to be such a hit, I would have brought in a better piano player." Hatfield, after is last studio take, said, "I can do it better." Medley told him, "No, you can't." He must have been thinking about putting these final high notes onto the record (which they are not--that ending is a surprise here that radio listeners had not heard--WOW).
@@bobhess7434 Finally someone else noticed the difference.
@@bobhess7434 Bill played piano on the studio recording. Here it was the Andy Williams orchestra… and they were fantastic. Bill was off-stage with Andy… they both came back and joined Bobby as a trio singing ‘What’d I Say?’
He also bit his lip and smiled at the end because his mother was in the audience and he knew he killed it and made her proud.
I heard this song my whole life live , I’m white and thought for sure by the name and the sound that they were black as well, I was surprised too! Such great music! I hope this kind of talent will make a come back soon , and I find nothing racial about you’re comments at all, only people that are not secure or have an imbalance in their own thoughts or feelings about race are easily bothered , walk on my brother!
I’m a white 69 year old woman. You are no racist! I’m so happy the young generation is discovering the music of my day! We were United as white and black because our souls were United with the love of talent and greT music! That great music will never die! I’m so happy you and other young people are living this great beautiful music! It makes my heart happy! And gives me hope that the love we had and the way we were United in music back in my days is coming back to your generation! ❤️
He sang this live on The Andy Williams Show. No auto tune. Just him and his amazing vocals.
And his mom was in the audience...that big smile at the end was when he saw her.
I remember that
He was 25 years old at the time that he sang the song, his parents was out there in the audience, and he was very nervous but you wouldn't have known it anyways what a voice awesome smooth as butter I love him LOL
I grew up with the Righteous Bros. They were incredible singers and had great songs to sing. It was a wonderful time for music. Thanks so much for reacting to them. PS ignore any stupid remarks. That's the internet today, unfortunately. Keep discovering the music.
this is in my opinion the most romantic song of all time! and nobody sung it like bobby....someone musta slipped him some soul!
NOT racist! Knowing races are different while celebrating differences and unexpected and joyful similarities is the most UN-racist thing you can do. Thanks for keeping it real BFAM!
It is actually a compliment!! The best R&B singers come from Detroit !!!!
People need to put people who bring this kind of stuff up in their place. I personally never put up with this sort of garbage and turn it back on them. Everyone has a right to their own opinions and values. That is what freedom is all about.
Exactly what you said!
I just watched your reaction to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and started watching this video. I was on my exercise bike but as soon as you mentioned people were saying you are racist I had to get off the bike and go over to my computer so I could write this. The people saying that are ridiculous!! In your Lovin' Feeling reaction you CLEARLY said we are ALL Brothers! I'm a 59 year old white man and I love channels like yours. I'm so tired of people intentionally trying to tear us apart by race / age / gender. Of course we need to deal with real problems, but you are part of the solution, not the problem. Thank you for your genuine spirit.
Music has no race nor gender! Bravo for your stance.
Omg this was so sweet and true
Amen, Mark West❤️
👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I never thought you were a racist. I just laughed at your honest surprise and knew you were younger. My dad had that exact same reaction when he saw Elvis on TV the first time....it happens.
Chase down the Bill Medley version of this, that he sang in memory of Bobby. Chills!
Many, many, many wonderful singers have covered this beautiful song. Bobby Hatfield owns this song forever.
People were EXTREMELY POLITE in 1965. No talk, no clapping until the performance is over.
Do not give those HATERS another minute, they have NO IDEA what they talking about.....CONTINUE to rock on!!!
I am an old lady in her 60s and back in the day, it was considered impolite to begin clapping or cheering when people were still singing their song. It was simply not done. 🙄🧐😂. And the clapping might have sounded ‘restrained’ to younger people, but when THAT kind of applause happened, everyone KNEW the performance was perfection.❤️👏🏼👍🏼😎. And who cares about the haters. Everyone is so touchy about nearly everything now. Good grief. 🙄🙄. You, my friend, are a treasure. Your reactions are priceless and bring us back to the time that WE first heard music like this. Please don’t change a thing about you. Be yourself. I am a new fan of yours and now a subscriber.🥰❤️😘
Riiite.. ! I agree & sub now too.
I am a white lady who is 77 years old. I clearly recall the first time that the Righteous Brothers were being played on radio. Back then, new artists were played at first on radio. Then when their popularity soared, they were seen on television and concerts and record album sleeves. When we first heard them, all of us, of every color or nationality or cultural background assumed they were black gentlemen. Theis was not racist. We simply had never heard white gentlemen produce that beautiful sound. Then when we finally saw them, everyone was astounded. Please keep doing your excellent reactions and ignore those who want to see it racist in either direction. Those who assume that, should actually study the rich history of music. Well done.
Listen..even when they first came out on the radio, everyone thought they were black. It's called "blue-eyed soul" forget those crazy people!!
I'm an old white lady and I LOVE you! Your reactions are so genuine and your take on the Righteous Brothers first time viewing was so sweet! Yes! They were a surprise to everybody! Just like the first time I saw Rick Astley, he was the "wrong" size and tan. But music is music and to be appreciated from every source.
Did he hear Bobby Hatfield sing Summertime?
Ditto!
No, you shouldn't have to I liked your reaction yes I am older and white and when you thought they where brothers I thought he isgoing to be surprised. Ignore the haters life is too short
The wrong size and tan?? Oh love, He Was Amazing!! This music formed the majority of my 'dance life' and... the righteous brothers were sooo amazing throughout my early adult years... without them my "club life" would have been really dull and boring... LOL
Greatest thing about this particular performance is it was his mothers first time ever watching him live. This was such an important performance to him because he really didnt want to disappoint his momma.
Oh that’s such a beautiful addition to the story of his performance.
I am 75 years white lady, love your reaction. I watch you and other young black men because I have bi-racial grand babies. I am so blessed
It was in the movie "'Ghost". During their career whenever they would record an album, they each did a solo for the album. This happened to be Bobby Hatfield's solo from the album. The complete video is from their appearance on the Andy Williams show in 1965. The complete video shows the Brothers singing with Andy Williams. I loved watching your reaction when he hit those high notes!
I’m a 66 yr old white woman and I LOVE you!!! Your facial expressions are the best!
I’m a 70 yr old white woman & your reactions are cracking me up😄 I Love You too👍💖
Me too!
I totally agree with you 💯%..
The audience is utterly silent, so they can hear every bit of the song. That's respect for sure.And every person I've watched review this was shocked the dude was white. People will be ignorant and best thing to do is ignore them.
That's exactly why I don't like concerts that much anymore! Can barely hear the music.
Your definitely not be racist, you were just telling the truth. Coz most singer's of soulful music were the wonderful people of colour, and some people of pale complexion, were also soulful singer's, simple.
The most well known version of the song is by the Righteous Brothers. You have probably heard the recorded studio version, which is in the movie 'Ghost'. This is a live version of the song.😉
This song is sung from the perspective of a PRISONER to his loved one who is free. He misses her and wants to know if she still loves him, and he pleads with her to "Wait for me." And now I bet his emotions and lyrics make sense.
I call bs on the trolls! I am 72 and been around a very long time. I know racist when I see it. You are not it, young man. Half the fun of all the reactions is watching the younger generations reacting to the music of our lives. Keep on keeping on! You owe no explanation to anyone.👍
72 here, feel exactly the same! Love your reactions! We are all brothers, this is unifying!
Bobby was on the popular Andy Williams TV show. Bobby was singing to millions of listeners. Not bad for someone with serious stage fright? This particular version is considered the best live recording ever.❤
This song was in the movie Ghost and Austin Brown (from HomeFree) covered it, wonderful reaction. Don't let the haters get to you, you are great just the way you are.
In addition, it appears in the most iconic scene of the film.
AB has haters? Wow, that's sad, he is definitely one of our most likeable family members. (Our = The American family)
You might have reacted to Austin singing it
You probably remember it from the movie Ghost. That was a the studio version but everyone wants to sing this song. Bobby Hatfield owns it.
Ummmmm I remember the movie but not this song honestly
There’s no song that could ever top this!
As a white middle aged woman, I enjoying seeing your reaction to some of the classics. Nothing wrong with checking out different styles of music and having an appreciation for them all. Love it!
Bobby Hatfield, one of the greatest, most soulfully rich voices to have ever graced the stage. And keep in mind, this wasn't auto tune, this was before active mixing, this was live. Live!
Many have recorded this over the years but Bobby owns it with his voice and soul.
I grew up with this music and I gotta say I love watching the reactions from young people who have never heard it before. You keep right on going.
The Righteous Brothers was my first concert. They appeared with Lou Rawls in Chicago, mid 60's. Still love them!❤ Enjoy!
It was live in a Television studio! No auto tune no electronic help! Love that little smile at the end when he knew he nailed it! I guarantee you every lady in the audience was on fire by the end of that!! Can't imagine how many passionate love making sessions happened over the decades with that song playing in the background💋💋
I saw somewhere (I don't know if it's true) that his parents were in the audience and that little smile was because he knew he nailed it for them.
You are not racist. I have heard many people of all races express shock that the Righteous Brothers are white. Give your haters 2.5 nanoseconds of thought and keep on honestly reacting to videos. By the way, I'm a 65 year old, white woman so I can speak with authority. Love you.
I’m a 67 year young white woman and I agree! He’s a sweetheart!
Lady you don't have authority just cuz your 65 & white. The man's got a bad attitude. Won't be watching him ever again....
Yes he is.... whistling the theme from Mayberry. Why? He ain't being cute ...
@@theresagallagher9161 bye
@@daramorikawa5651 I love you too ! 🤪
Your reactions are epic. Glad you appreciate the raw talent. Can’t beat the classics.
A LOT of people have done versions of this song....but no one will EVER do it better than Bobby did...This is forever Bobby's song, RIP.
I love when a reactor realizes an ethnicity and is surprised. From blue eye soul to Black Country artists. Music unites.
EXACTLY!! For me, I absolutely LOVE seeing the surprised reactions when that spotlight finds Bill and Bobby! So, for me, I gravitate towards black people when it comes to reacting to certain songs/artists. That initial surprise is an added bonus! Does that make me racist? 🙄😂
They had a coin toss, bobby won that toss. Bobby was a tenor/counter tenor. This was a live performance Andy Williams show 1965. No autotune, no gimmicks, one take. What a beautiful blessed man, with such a voice. We are going back 50 + years on this live performance. Bobby made this song his own. I don't believe anyone could match his range/octave (s). Happy that u enjoyed this presentation.
Anyone born in the 50’s has lived through all of the greatest music. It’s awesome to see the reactions of people hearing it for the first time.
SO MUCH MORE TO HEAR.
👋👋👋👍 Born in the late 50's here and I totally agree with you 👍 👌
agree. There was no video's to make the sales it was all voice
Truth!
@@cynthiaahern9081 1953 for me & agree we did get the best of music growing up
The other Brother said it wouldn't be a hit. Boy was he wrong.
I’m a 57-year old white guy. I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s listening to radio and tapes. CD’s in the 90’s and in the early 2,000’s my wife and I were picking songs on I-tunes on our computer when we came across the Righteous Brothers and saw their picture. We both immediately looked at each other and said the exact same thing as you, “THEY ARE WHITE.”😮
Omg, I think you are awesome. This song won't ever die. It is absolutely a beautiful song. You keep up the good work
AB, "Unchained Melody" has been covered by 574 artists, from Liberace to Elvis to Angelina Jordan. No one comes close to Bobby Hatfield. Some say it is the best live performance of a pop song of all time. Anyone who hears a group from the 60s named the Righteous Brothers singing soul and doesn't expect them to be black, well they're just not paying attention. Great reaction; it's how everyone feels when they first hear the song.
Truth!
Agree 100%
"No one comes close to Bobby Hatfield." Straight facts. I'm not sure this will ever be topped - a live, one chance, straight mic feed perfect performance. That just isn't done.
Oh ok 👍🏾 appreciate that. Maybe I’ll get to another artist singing this song somewhere this year lol
@@ABtheKreator it was also in the movie Ghost. The 2 brothers flipped a coin to see who would sing it. Bobby won and he killed it. Everybody and their brother have tried to outdo this performance. Can't do it.
Best version hands down of this classic song. Absolutely loved the Righteous Brothers. They were the best at blue-eyed soul. Sadly we lost Bobby Hatfield about 18 years ago. He had a beautiful one of a kind voice. Austin Brown from Home Free did a very beautiful tribute of this song.
Elvis sang this. Black marines heard them sing and one of them said, "that is righteous, brother". So they named themselves the Righteous Brothers!
Iam glad you enjoyed our 60's music 🎵🎶🎉❤
This is one of the greatest love songs ever written.
This is 25 year old Bobby Hatfield. He is in the rock and roll hall of fame.
They called him blue-eyed soul.
1965
They called them blue eyed soul!
Bobby's parents were in the audience that night, that little smile at the end, was him knowing he gave a flawless preformance.
I've never heard a more sincere reaction to this song ...thank you ..from the fans that grew up or didn't grow up...but ..admire the performance that was given by Bobby Hatfield
💙🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He obviously did in this with no warm up and with no auto tune. His mom was in the audience and he wanted to do his best performance. As you can see he nailed it. you may have heard from The ghost movie staring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. then it was all over the place when it came out.
I love how relaxed his face is the whole time he's singing. Just that sound coming out with no effort - amazing!
👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Before they were the Righteous Brothers they appeared in a club that was mostly people of color patrons. After they finished their song a person in the audience yelled out, that was righteous, brothers. They changed their name and were considered blue eyed sole.
This is a totally true story, BTW. As spoken from the horse's mouth on camera. They were actually really funny guys.
But also, the term brother wasn't as much a racial/black term back then. In was a term used for people who were part of any social movement.
The people of the mid to late fifties an early sixties when Motown was just picking up steam and the best radio stations were out of Chicago and they played music by people of color. So you will hear elements of Soul in a lot of White music from that period. Even Elvis Presley’s early music had elements of some Black artists like James Brown. To ignore that is to miss a huge element of the music of that period. So if you are not watching the Righteous Brothers they sound like Black artists. It was a big deal to parents in the south because the young people were gravitating toward Black music. It should never be racist to notice the soul influence of that time. It was new to a lot of people and they were experimenting with the sound. The very early rock and roll music also had elements from Black artists.
Bro, I love seeing black folks react to the Righteous Brothers for the 1st time because they are surprised by the race due to the soul those men have. When the spotlight hits the stage and seeing the reaction is one of my favorites. You aren't the only one, and it's regular and normal. Ignore the haters and do your thing.
There is no racism in music, if you hear a song you like it doesn't matter who sings it.
I'm an old (seventies) Canadian white woman. This is the music I grew up on. Your reactions to this and the previous Righteous Brothers numbed were spot on and RIGHTEOUS! I too thought they were black when I first heard them but as someone else said, and probably better than I, music crosses all lines and joins us together in its appreciation. Keep on doing what you do so well and piss on the haters!
P.S. All these years later, I still get shivers when I hear these two. Thanks.
The other Righteous Brother didn’t join in on this song because he didn’t think it would be a hit. The Righteous Brothers were interviewed by Andy Williams. He said when Unchained Melody is sung, he sits in the corner & kicks himself. 🤣😂🤣
The interview with Andy Williams is on TH-cam.
BTW, I love your reactions!
This song has gone down in history as 'the most beautiful song ever written'. And that is still true today.
This song still gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. Incredible talent.
They would take turns doing solos every once in awhile. They flipped a coin on which one of them would get to sing this and Bobby won. Bill played the piano for it. Bill joked and said if he knew this was going to become so popular he would have hired a better piano player to do it justice.
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" was the most played song on the radio in the 20th Century.
"Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby's use of "Runs" in his singing style has inspired countless others in their own music. Nobody has ever done it better. 5 notes to say the word "I".....Early in their career at a small venue after the show a black man said to them.... You two brothers are righteous.... the source of their name.
In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
OMG, I'm so ENJOYING your reactions to music that so impacted my youth and generation. So much soulful music!
It was used in Ghost, and lots of people recorded it. This is the absolute best. He owns it. The Righteous Brothers did many songs as solo. Solo and duet, real talent! Thanks.
They played his version in the movie Ghost in the 80s. This was covered by several people but no one has matched him. His range was unbelievable and he did it so effortlessly and without straining. This was a B side on a 45 record and the other one, Bill Medley, let him do it solo. They were both great. There is an intro to this performance on the Andy Williams show that talks about it.
Get over your cult. You are practicing idolatry.
Bobby improvised a lot in this version ( the ending was more dramatic )was different than the one done on the popular recording that was used in the Movie "Ghost".
Just love the way he sang bought many memories great.
One of the best songs ever, covered by one of the best singers ever. Gives me chills-in a good way-every time I hear it. Thanks for sharing your listening experience with us.
Hey man, you aren't racist, I'm 56 years old and white, when I first heard these Brothers on the radio I thought they were black too. Don't worry about it, too many people are needing to call other people something instead of letting them be. You're doing a good job...
Thanks for your honesty
AB! Beautiful music has
only the color of love❤️
Blue eyed soul to the finest, my brother. Finest song ever! Well done, sir.
One of the iconic performances n music history. Many excellent covers but this is Bobby Hatfield's song. Period
This was featured in the movie Ghost
Everyone at their first Apollo Theatre gig in 1965 reacted almost exactly, just like you. They were honest and open, as were you. But I add, they applauded like crazy when that first performance was over. And bought their 45s like crazy.
And it was a live performance. My husband and I were 16 years old and this was our favorite group.
Many artists have sung this song, but this is the definitive version. The studio version was used in Ghost. They took turns doing soloes on their albums.
This brought alot of tears. The Vietnam War had been dragging for 10 years. For many of us it was a song from a soldier wanting to know if his love was still true. Listen to the words, "I'm coming home." It's all that kept the guys sane, knowing they had something to come home for.
This was written in 1955 maybe Korea conflict
This was from a prison movie. Just 1 more man missing the love of his life and unable to get to her. Doesn't matter the reason, just matters that he loves her and prays that she is still his. Beautiful song sung beautifully by Bobby Hatfield. ❤❤
@@BarbaraBurton-zs7tn yeah 1955 prison movie
I love that people can enjoy the music of the 50's,60's,70's with all the unrest during that time I grew up in the 70's ad 80's. Music has no color! This song was in the movie Ghost.
You don’t need to worry about what other people think it’s OK to say what you want to say we live in America. God bless you.❤
This is simply the best live performance ever recorded. If it wasn't recorded in 1965 on the Andy WIlliams show, people actually would not believe it. If I recall, Bobby Hatfield got to sing this instead of Bill Medley over a coin toss.
😀
That is the story. Not only that, Bobby was sick with a cold and his mom was in the audience to hear him on stage for the first time. I heard an interview where Bill was asked what he did when Bobby sang that. He said, I find a corner and kick myself. Either of them could have delivered the song. Bobby just got the opportunity.
Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the prison film Unchained (1955),[1] hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack.[2] It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers in 1965.[3] According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.[4]
Those of us who grew up with this music will remember it always. It captured our souls, and will never go away. I'm glad you got introduced to it; it's a blessing.
I grew up in the sixties and loved our music. So very happy that the younger people can enjoy that which we knew was good
Back in the day my friend their music was inescapable on the radio but it's not surprising that people today don't know who they are your reactions were wonderful and authentic God bless you and may your path always rise up to greet you.
People are ignorant bro… can’t give them the attention- just keep doing you! Love all your work man. Def my fav reactor! And as far as these righteous Righteous Brothers- straight 🔥🔥 Classics! This one was featured in the movie Ghost and was remade(covered) by Elvis… Soul and Inspiration is another amazing song to do… Blessings and favor!
